Goetz Print Jeans

Clearly I'm late to the party since these are sold out everywhere, but I love the softness of the shapes and the colors against the white denim.

Into Another World

These set of paintings by J. Courlas do an excellent job of instilling a feeling of unease and isolation as well as depicting a fantastic world that may not be what it appears.  I really like the effect of the fuzzy coloring - kind of like colored pencils.

Eggplant and Feta Bruschetta

I made these twice this week. Monday for the first time ever, and then again on Thursday because they were just THAT tasty.

Recipe below. Smitten Kitchen never fails to disappoint!


eggplant salad on toasts


Makes about 8 toasts; double the recipe if you’d like to eat the salad straight or use it in one of the ways suggested above.


1 medium eggplant, about 3/4 pound, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil plus additional for oiling baking sheet
1/4 teaspoon salt
Black pepper
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup crumbled crumbled feta
1 scallion, thinly sliced
8 1/2-inch slices of baguette, brushed with olive oil (I used 1-inch slices in the photos, then decided they were too thick)
1 small clove garlic, peeled and halved



Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet or roasting pan. Toss eggplant, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and a generous amount of black pepper together in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Spread on prepared baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes, moving pieces around occasional so they evenly brown. For a cold salad, let the eggplant cool a bit before mixing it with red wine vinegar, feta and scallion. For a warm salad where the feta glues itself to the eggplant a bit, toss the vinegar, feta and scallion together when the eggplant just comes out of the oven. You’ll want to eat the warm salad quickly.


Broil or toast baguette slices then rub them with a garlic clove before heaping on eggplant salad.
